Neutrogena Lip Moisturizer

I'm addicted

I love love love this lip balm. Not only is it super smooth going on, but it stays on for a long time, and is totally fragrance-free. It's not at all waxy, and I love that it's effective but doesn't leave me with that medicinal stinging feeling of blistex or burts bees . All in all, totally smooth and hydrating, with just the right amount of sheen. Good on it's own or under lipstick.

Vincent Longo Volume Riche Mascara

Pretty good

I read a ton of reviews before committing to this product, which I bought in black. I was really excited, since most reviews said it was amazing. But honestly, for the price ($23 regularly), I feel like it could have been better. Don't get me wrong, the mascara was good but didn't give me the amazing transformation I expected. There were a few main things that I found wrong with this product. First, I have thin lashes, and although it did pump them up a little, this mascara wasn't any better than a L'oreal or Maybelline mascara in the volumizing area. Save your money. Secondly, there is very little product, so this will run out pretty quickly. Also, many people might find it difficult to use this product because it tends to be clumpy, and much of the product that you DO get in this little package gets stuck to the end of the applicator. All in all, not that impressive.
